For your home, we
offer a complete lightning protection system, and because
each home is different, we design the system to best
meet your needs, and ultimately, offer the best protection
from lightning and power surges.

How it Works

It is important to note that the addition
of a lightning protection system will not "attract" lightning,
nor will it prevent lightning from striking. Lightning
rods provide a means for controlling lightning and to
prevent damage to your structure and its contents. The
rods, or "air terminals" provide a direct path to ground
for the lightning to follow, thereby avoiding destruction,
fire and injury or death as the current is directed to
follow that path.

After a thorough evaluation of your home,
Hamilton Lightning Protection designs your system, laying
out the proper number of air terminals (lightning rods)
and the conductor (the wire that connects the terminals
and is grounded), combined with surge arresting devices.
Surge Arrestors protect your home from electrical surges
and lightning strikes that may enter you home from electrical
lines.

In most cases, an installation can be hidden
from view so as not to distract from your home's aesthetic.
Only traces of the system would be in view from the front
of your dwelling, and every effort is made to blend
the system into the architectural features of your home.

The Benefits

With a properly installed lightning protection
system from Hamilton Lightning Protection, you can be
assured that your home is better prepared to withstand
a cloud to ground lightning strike, protecting the structure,
your electronic equipment, and most importantly, the people
inside.

The cost of most installations are comparable
to the deductible on your homeowner's insurance policy,
and many times, homeowners receive a discount on their
policy by adding a lightning proteciton system.
